Our day started with breakfast in the Enchanted Forest cafe downstairs in the hotel at 8.15am. We didn’t book anything extra like a character meet & greet – even Belle feels too old now for that! But Mickey and Pluto roamed around the tables and were keen for photo opportunities. We then took a free shuttle bus to the park ready for its opening at 10am.

We started in “The World of Frozen” as it is the newest land and worked our way through all the other lands as well. All rides were only a 5, 10 or 20 minute wait. Abi kept a list of the rides we did in order (17), and we had time to choose our favourites to do again in the late afternoon – although by then the ride times were 20 – 40 minutes waits!

At 7pm we had trouble finding somewhere to sit and have dinner and queues for food were very long, and people were starting to claim areas to sit and wait for the 9pm fireworks (😳). We decided to pick one more favourite ride to re-do then intending to eat and leave before the crowds.

As the girls walked up to the entrance of their favourite rollercoaster for their last ride of the day, a young woman approached them and offered them her fast pass which was going to go to waste because she couldn’t use it. Instead of another 20minute wait to get on the ride, they walked straight through and rejoined me 6 minutes later!

The only restaurant with an available table on Main Street was The Corner Cafe. They had a set menu, but allowed the three of us to share the one meal. So after crab cake, margarita pizza and a Mickey waffle with icecream for dessert (which I struggled with only because it was served before the main), we headed back to the shuttle bus and were back in our hotel room ready for bed by the time the fireworks show would have begun.
